Abstract
The causes of past accidental viral transmissions associated with blood derivatives
are reviewed briefly, as are the safety procedures instituted in Europe on the basis
of viral validation studies. A comprehensive five-class classification system for
delineating viral risk according to source material and comparative viral safety is
presented. Newly emerging viruses are briefly discussed in view of the viral safety
of blood products.
